I like the sunrise

'cause it brings a new day

I like a new day it brings new hope they say

I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky

Nighttime is weary oh and so am I

Every evening I wish upon a star

That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far

When the heavy blue curtain of night

Is raised up high clear out of sight

Then I like the sunrise so heavenly to see

I like the sunrise I hope it likes poor me

Don't worry about saving this music

Or be scared if the singing ends

Or the piano breaks a string

For we have fallen to a place

Where everything is music and singing

Everything is recovered and new

Ever new and musical

And even if the whole world's harp should burn up

There would still be hidden there

The spirit of song there to linger on

And even if a candle's blown out by wind

The fire smolders on in an ember and then sparks again

The singing is a drop

Just a drop in oceans of seas

Grace keeps it moving through bodies like these

And the sound of a life sends an echoing out

The poem sings willingly in each newborn's crying shout

But it's growing slowly and keeps many secrets

Stop the words and listen

Feel the echo of it starting

Open a space in the center of your beating heart

And let spirits fly in and out

Every evening I wish upon a star

That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far

When the heavy blue curtain of the night

Is raised up high clear out of sight

Then I like the sunrise

So heavenly to see

I like the sunrise

The music in every sunrise

Makes a space inside the skies for setting free
